The First Dub of Crazemas

For true Rastafarians, Christmas is called Ganna (or Genna). It is celebrated on January 7th which is the 29th day of the month of Tahsas on the Ethiopia calendar. Belivers in Ras Tafari fast from Tsome Nebiyat (Fast of the Prophets) November 25 our calendar through to January 7th, eating only one Vegan meal per day. As Ganna is a very religious occasion in Ethiopia, Rastas attend mass on Christmas Eve (January 6th), known as the Gahad of Christmas.

Since Neil Joseph Stephen Fraser, the Mad Professor, was born in Georgetown, Guyana & has lived in England since he was 13 & is not a Rastafarian, I am going to use his music as a run-up to our western version of the holiday. I always try to give something special to our Frenz here at NSS this time of year.

So for the Twelve Days of Crazemas...Mad Professor gives to you...Dub Me Crazy in all it glory. Today we start with the original Dub Me Crazy!! from 1982.

Special Holiday Gift from Facility 4:

January 31, 2020, shortly before Anrew Weatheral died, his record label Rotters Golf Club began releasing a series of downloadable Woodleigh Research Facility -  Facility 4 sets. They released one a month after that with the last (A Walk with Bob & Bill, Vol. 4) coming on December 25th, 2020.

Rotters Golf Club was an electro record label set up by Andrew in 2001. The label was mainly 12" single-orientated, with most releases actually by Two Lone Swordsmen (Weatherall & Keith Tenniswood aka Radioactive Man) under various guises.

For the 12 Daze of Xmas I'll also be sharing all of the 2020 Facility 4 releases...
